No Super key [Windows Logo] on your keyboard then you can switch to Alt by using Alt+m.

Want to change add autostart applications [Wallpaper, Volume icon, Battery monitor etc] that run on logging into i3 window manager

Then look in ~/.config/i3/config find the Autostart section near end of file and make changes.

Wallpaper is set in line:
